If you think that Fluoridation is a benevolently misguided practice, you ought to see this. In the 1991-1992 card game Illuminati, one can find a card which clearly depicts the intentional addition of Fluoride to the water supply and one can assume based on the nature of the game, that it is all but benevolent. Read below for more information on the card game itself, which contains other stunning depictions of world events which have since happened since their publication.

Durham County board of health Chair Sue McLaurin reaffirmed Thursday what all cities ought to emulate – that they are committed to reviewing the new science and evidence which proves the inefficacy of community water fluoridation.

“We have formed a subcommittee to review the issue of fluoridation. That subcommittee met November 19th and we will be meeting again December 17, so just to let you know we are moving along as a group.”

Whether this will result in any effectual action remains to be seen however. As we have found from the obtuse behavior of the Raleigh City Council and deceptive actions relayed from others – accountability for this issue has had a tendency to jump from agency to agency, never seeming to rest on one central authority who can “turn off the spigots.”

The bureaucracy that protects the chemical/fertilizer companies who lobby for and supply Fluoride is a frustrating aspect for any activist, but perhaps there is cause for celebration here. Afterall, the incredible work by ABC news Affiliate WTVD rocked the country (and world) and I suspect brought much due pressure onto the governing bodies of Durham County. I had a gut sense today that they were listening more intently when I made this December 13th appearance, which is why I decided to give them some warm words of encouragement as they went into the December 17th meeting. I understand it takes strength to admit you’ve been lied to, so I gave them the following 3 quotes:

From William Owens, President of the 5,000-member-strong Coalition of African American Pastors:

“African Americans have more kidney disease and more diabetes, but nobody elected to tell us that kidney patients and diabetics are more susceptible to harm from ingested fluorides… We need to investigate this Fluoridegate mess. This is a civil rights and environmental justice issue.”

From Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr.:

“Water fluoridation needs to end. It is good that organizations are lending their support to help push this outdated and harmful practice of fluoridation toward collapse.”

From Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr.:

“This is a civil rights issue. No one should be subjected to drinking fluoride in their water, especially sensitive groups like kidney patients and diabetics, babies in their milk formula, or poor families that cannot afford to purchase unfluoridated water. Black and Latino families are being disproportionately harmed.”

Early on in this fight I discovered the Durham County Board of Health is the governing body who makes health-related recommendations to the City Council, which is why I appear in front of them as opposed to the Mayor, councilmen et, al.

The City Council will not change anything “public health related” without the stamp of approval from the board of health. THEN, and only then – will they legislate accordingly (or so they say).

The frustrating part about the bureaucracy is the waiting, the process, and the protocol. At each meeting I only have 3 minutes to say my piece, and I only get that one chance once a month.

It takes a month to form a subcommittee.

It takes another month to schedule and have a meeting.

The next meeting might actually be spent talking about the issue, but no decision will be made till the next meeting…

and so on and so forth.

I now know how some people have spent their entire lifetime fighting one single issue – because the system is designed to make it that overwhelming. They’d rather you go back to sleep.

The Layers of Bureaucracy Could Keep You Occupied for a Lifetime

No doubt it is a thick onion to peel but that will have to be an unfortunate statement on the current state of affairs. The truth of the matter is that no agency, board of health, department, or title within the government has the ultimate authority to determine what goes into our water. WE DO – not only because Water is a divine gift from the Universe, but we pay for it! We literally are the customers – so why does one have to generate an almost literal act of congress just to not get medicated via drinking water against your will?

In response to the building momentum behind the Durham/Raleigh/Chapel Hill anti-fluoride movement, InfoWars Nightly News recently interviewed Marcus Hill and Katie Habberman on their efforts to protest the mass poisoning of citizens via community water fluoridation. Using new facebookesque patriot-targeted social media technology known as Planet InfoWars, the duo created Greater Raleigh Resistance, a group dedicated to resisting all manner of tyranny here in the RDU area.

The first Tuesday of November (11-6-2012) found Katie Haberman, Marcus Hill, and Rocco Piserchia standing against the mass poisoning of the citizens of our capital city, Raleigh, North Carolina. Serving over 400,000 people, Raleigh’s Municipal Water Service mixes just the right cocktail of hexafluorosilicic acid, lead, arsenic, and other nasties into the drinking water in violation of common sense, civil and natural rights, and as a direct attack on the health of the citizens of what the Raleigh City Council touts as a 21st Century City. Something is horribly wrong with this Council’s agenda.

Katie Haberman, once again, presented to the Council the Certificate of Analysis for the “fluoride” sold by PCS Phosphate Company, Inc. to Key Chemical, Inc. Ms. Haberman insisted that the Council answer vital questions as to dosage, safety, and informed consent. Those questions were first ignored on October 2, 2012 and Mayor Nancy McFarlane ignored and disallowed Ms. Haberman from evening finishing her questions this past Fluoride Fightin’ Tuesday. Raleigh City Council’s silence on these questions speaks volumes. Our voices must be heard. Make your’s heard here: citycouncilors@raleighnc.gov

The PlanetInfowars group, Greater Raleigh Resistance, and the campaign to end fluoridation benefited greatly from the exposure Infowars.com provided via publication of the first installment of our saga. It was that exposure that led to an alliance with Rocco Piserchia of www.founderstruth.org Mr. Piserchia was met with the blank faces of our City Council when he respectfully asked for Raleigh to stand against indefinite detention, the unconstitutional provisions of the Patriot Act, and to end the practice of introducing known neurotoxins into the water supply.

Election Eve in Raleigh found the Raleigh City Government faced with the opportunity to end a civil rights catastrophe that has been going on here for 56 years. A travesty that started years before the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were penned. It is that ongoing catastrophe that I hoped to shed some light on when I read numerous quotes from prominent civil rights activists regarding the disproportionate harm fluoridation causes Blacks and Latinos. Civil rights, much like natural rights, are not even given the slightest consideration by our Raleigh City Council.

I have been in close contact with the producers of this story since I first began working with Steve earlier this summer. I am happy to report that WTVD is preparing a fair and objective report that will hopefully cause viewers to start questioning what is in their water and why.

Tune in if you can, otherwise the video will be posted on the Durham Against Fluoride website as soon as it is made available!

(NaturalNews) Roughly 85,000 fewer people living in North America will be forced to drink and bathe in fluoridated water, thanks to four recent community victories preventing or overturning water fluoridation mandates. The towns of O’Fallon, Missouri; Rosetown, Saskatchewan; Lake View, Iowa; and Cassadaga, New York are all now officially fluoride-free, proving that individuals really do have the power to step up and protect themselves against one of the most ridiculous folklores of the past century to be thrust on the people in the name of public health.

As reported by the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), which has tabulated more than 70 community victories against fluoride across North America since 2010, a single citizen activist concerned about the safety of fluoride was able to persuade the City Administrator of O’Fallon, MO, population 80,000, to discontinue the town’s water fluoridation program. The town’s 2012 budget report states that the change will save the town $18,000 annually, and reduce the hazard for water operators who will no longer “have to handle the dangerous chemical on a regular basis.”

In Rosetown, SK, the failure of a fluoride feed pump was enough to scrap the outdated practice of water fluoridation, while water fluoridation’s high cost with lack of economic and societal benefit convinced the city council of Lake View, IA, to discontinue the pointless practice. And in Cassadaga, NY, local citizens rejected a proposal to fluoridate by an 87 percent margin, even after the town had already built a special shed to begin housing and pumping fluoride chemicals into the water supply.

Portland voters soon to vote on water fluoridation

In Portland, Oregon, where rogue city council members and Mayor Sam Adams recently forced through a fluoridation mandate against the will of the people, more than 43,000 local citizens signed a petition to force the issue to a public vote. As of this writing, these signatures are still being counted — but since only 19,858 were required to get the issue on the ballot, the issue will almost surely be put up for a public vote.

And in New York City, where councilman Petter Vallone, Jr. has been working feverishly to end water fluoridation in America’s largest city, a resolution has been introduced to require that a warning about fluoride’s dangers for infants be printed on individual water bills. Both Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the entire state of New Hampshire recently passed similar requirements for infant warning labels on water bills.

Two Florida communities reconsider water fluoridation

Lastly, both the Greater Pine Island Water Association, which serves the area of St. James City near Fort Myers, Florida, and the Ormond Beach City Commission, also in Florida, are also reconsidering their existing fluoridation mandates. The former group will have its members vote on the issue, while the latter group has already approved a referendum that will allow voters to decide the issue in an upcoming election.
